Leading three-year-old filly Rachel Alexandra, heads a field of five females for Saturday's $300,000 Mother Goose Stakes at Belmont Park. The three-year-old fillies will fight it out over 1 1/8 miles on Belmont's main track.

Owned by Jess Jackson and Harold McCormick, the Preakness Stakes winner will start from post three with Calvin Borel returning for the ride. Three weeks ago Borel was aboard Mine That Bird in the Belmont Stakes when the gelding finished third.



Rachel Alexandra destroyed the competition in the Kentucky Oaks this year by better than 20-lengths. Currently on a six race winning streak, the three- year-old has career earnings of $1,618,354 with eight wins in 11 starts. In 2009 alone the filly has won more than $1.4 million.

"She gave a brilliant race last time," Jackson noted. "She's tested, healthy and ready to run." During a teleconference on Wednesday, Jackson hinted at some of the possible races his filly could compete in after Saturday.
